Catalog Description:

C.1820, French, Alabaster Mantel Clock in good running order. This good looking clock has most of its carved flowers intact- top spray from urn is lacking; ormolu dial has nice floral themes and bright gilding. The last repairman took off the silk thread adjuster and added a suspension spring (can be put back if you are a purist). He also replaced the hour hand with one too large and then cut the end to length. All these things aside, the clock runs and strikes on a delightful bell. Note this clock will soon be 200 years old, and is a lot of "antique" for the money. Take care not to lose old winding key (quite small). Not a bad clock. Height 15 1/2"
